Curve

Three Art Structure

Some Question Again

1. Where are we?2. Who are we following?3. Opposed to the protagonist?4. What and why these characters want to

accomplish?

Some Question Again

5. What is Ensuring conflict and why its exist?6. Where phase character rise?7. Where is final crisis?8. Story resolves?

Story goal = Life beyond the limit

Angry Bird

Clash of Clan
